A Lost Factor

[Lost Digi Girl]

---Prologue---The Final Battle

(One year ago, three years after Season 2
aka-Hidimon's Game RPG)

After the Lost DigiDestined was able to get together at Lulu Tower, N'amie Pas finally told them what no one knew. Realemon's secret base was in a cave by the Memory Canyon. They all went there, unsure of what to expect, but knowing that they had to beat Realemon, and destory the machine she had the other stolen Digidestined making.

Just as they approched, Realemon appeared. She threw out several illusions, but they were pure illusion smoke, to cover the illusion she was putting on Ken. He disappeared, into the cave to help her finish her machine.

Jenni began panicking, and Jasmine suggested that they figure out a way to protect themselves. Pirelli gave Jasmine Canamon so she could teleport into the cave and break the others out, since Jasmine would be unaffected by the canyon's effects. Jasmine did, with Pirelli standing near the canyon wall, watching her.

Meanwhile, Brandy and AJ tried to distract Realemon, but Brandy suddenly started attacking the others.

In the confusion, Realemon began using her illusions to catpure other DigiDestined.

Hidimon had a small vision, of a future with combined dimensions. Panicked, she gave Pirelli the D-Porters, and told her to prevent anyone from getting them. Then she used her own, and disappeared.

Jasmine tried to pursuade the people in the cave to leave, but they were loyal to Realemon only, due to their lost memories from the canyon, and Realemon's illusions on them. When Jenni appeared in there, also affected like the others, Canamon teleported Jasmine out.

Once out, Pirelli grabbed back Canamon, and used her D-Porter to sent Jasmine back to her home dimension. Brian went over to her and started yelling at what an unreasonable thing that was to do, and as Pirelli tried to stop the D-Porter and send Jasmine back here, she pushed the wrong button, and sent the two of them to another place.

Chapter One-Awakening to a New Day

Jasmine woke up, in her closet of her room. She had been hiding once again, when she fell asleep in there. Her family thought she was so weird in being obsessed with all the digital stuff, and dimensions. Especially dimensions. Her current life revolved around that, and finding a way back to her friends. So she was hiding in the closet, trying to make new D-Porters.

Since she was already in the closet, Jasmine decided to get dressed. She put on her blue dress, similar to what she wore when with her friends. She went out of the closet, and went to the bathroom, to brush her hair and teeth.

"Hey!" a boy's voice called from outside the bathroom. Jasmine peeked out to see her brother, Donald, or also called Nick, because as a little kid, he couln't say his name right and called himself Donick.

"What?" Jasmine asked, looking at his hair, which, instead of being his normal tan color like her own hair, was now dyed silver and spiked up.

Nick smiled. "Ya like?" he asked, waving around Jasmine's D-Terminal. "Oh, and no emails from the friends on that list of people from acamina, whereever that is, and there is one, from the DigiReal Station. You need to head in, asap now instantly."

Jasmine looked at Nick. "I've told you hundreds of times where Acamina is. I even showed you a map of the city, showing yo where I lived, and where my college was. If you can beleive in the digimon and everything that happened here during the digimon and d-reaper thingy, why can't you beleive that I was in another dimension at that time?" she asked, grabbing her D-Terminal.

"Yeah yeah, just like Ryo. You're nuts." Nick said, walking away. "By the way, the email said be there asap, before 9, and it's 11. And I remember your closet light being on until 5, so go..."

Jasmine glared at her brother as he went into his room, then checked the email. She was late. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, to grab a bagel. Her mom was there, making a sandwich.

"Nick has some friends coming over, so I'm making lunch. Aren't you late for work?"

"Yeah," Jasmine said, putting the bagel in the toaster. "And the email that Nick read said there was an emergency, something 'up my alley'. But why'd he have to read my mail? Brothers are dumb, especially when 13. Kenny was better than him."

Her mom glared at her. "Kenny is not your brother. Kenny is Jenni's brother, so don't refer to him as your own. I personally don't care for the parallel part of the dimension theory."

Jasmine sighed. "But based on my reseach, it's mostly true, or mostly parallel. The two dimensions are extremely close, and similar, compared to the other dimensions I've gone to with Jenni and the others." She paused for a moment. "I so hope they email me soon. I haven't heard from them since the day I got back here." She looked at the clock, noticing what time it was. "Eek, gotta go!" she grabbed the bagel and ran out the door.

A few minutes later, Jasmine ran into the DigiReal Station, a place set up for peaceful communication and relations to the Digital World. A few of the Tamers were there, but Jasmine ignored them, late and needing to see Dr. Wasiku anyway. Although his name reminded her of Gateau Wazumi.

Just as she reached his office, the door opened, and Dr. Wasiku handed her a paper. It was a copy of a email, which was addressed to her.

"We're not sure why we got this, instead of you, but it must be in relation to what you said was happening before you got sent back here." he said, as Jasmine read the paper. She dropped it, and walked over to the window and looked outside. It looked like a normal day here, in this dimension.

On the floor, where the note landed, it said...

------------------------------------------------
To: [e-mail]
From: [e-mail]

Hello Jasmine. Remember me? Well, No doubt you remember me, since I am part of a life you'd never forget, knowing the Lost Digidestined's friend, the Dimensional Girl. Well, most of that last line is true. The Lost Digidestined are truely lost now, and you are the dimensional girl, but, things have changed. In ways that you would hope and dream for, but never truely want to come true.

Well, to update you on what happened after you left, or was sent away, however you want to imagine it, well, the Lost Digidestined lost. Obvisously, Realemon won. And now, with her help and under her command, we did what you might think is unbelievable and impossible. We found a way to combine two worlds that are very similar and parallel to themselves, and now, well, here we are. You don't need the D-Porters now. Nor do you need any of us to visit the digimon. Before we fused the dimensions together, first we had to fuse the Real and Digital Worlds together. So, enjoy. And welcome to a new day, a new age, where Realemon is in control.

Gateau Wazumi

Chapter 2-Her Worlds United

"Jasmine?" Dr Wasiku said, as she stood staring out the window. "Who is this person? And what do they know about what happened? The others are looking into it, and the Tamers have been sent out to try to get a handle on the situation. But apparently you know more than we do."

Jasmine looked at Dr. Wasiku. She'd been working here since she returned here, the first time, about 3 years ago, and that was right after the D-Reaper problem. He reminded of of Wazumi so much, even if Dr. Wasiku was older, and didn't have Wazumi's crazy history. "I don't want to tell...but I have to. I'd prefer to do this in the office. The others can find out later, or at least what is needed. I may say things that may be weird or complicated." she finally said.

Dr. Wasiku led her into the office, and closed and locked the door. "Okay, please explain, but however you want and feel comfortable with," he said as they sat down.

"In all honesty, I'll never feel comfortable with this. I've told you about the other dimension, and showed you those charts. Jenni's world and this world are parallel, or at least very close. Right before I came back here last fall, Jenni and the others were in the middle of trying to stop Realemon, the illusion digimon I told you about. In the Final Battle, I'm not sure what was happening, since I was sent into the Memory Canyon, a place were any Digidestined would loose there memories. I was trying to save them, and I have no idea what happened. I know that Jenni got caught, she appeared in the cave right before Canamon, my friend Pirelli's digimon, decided to take me out of the cave. Maybe she saw it's hopeless, that little digimon never says a word longer than one syllable. When I can out, Pirelli thought that things were getting bad, and sent me back here. I have no idea what happened besides that."

Jasmine tried to hold back the tears in her eyes. "But now with Wazumi's letter, I know what happened. They lost. My friends lost, and now I've lost them. I'm not going to be like Jenni after Realemon got her, when Jenni was extremly sensitive and cried about anything relating to pain or her friends being hurt by Realemon. Because...now I know that we have trouble. I know that things are going to change, and they already have. Looking at what they did...it's hard to even believe Wazumi did this, he can't even be around illusions, how can he surivive when controled by one?"

Dr. Wasiku looked at her curious. "It seems Wazumi is involved in this, but you've never said anything about him, not last year or any time before."

"Yes, I don't talk about him much, but he's one of the more complicated friends," Jasmine said, looking down at her lap. "It's not like he was a secret boyfriend or anything, just a close friend, like the others. It's just tricky to say in a way that makes sense. Wazumi used to, or is, well, he's a digimon, Wizardmon, but he used to be dead, or a ghost. I wasn't there when this happened, so I'm just telling a story told to me. He met Brian, a friend, and thought that he could use him to come back to life. He used this lab he set up to create a human form, so he could be just like a human. He made up the name Gateau Wazumi. Gateau is french, meaning 'cake', but it sounds like gato, and that was in resepct to his best fried Gatomon, who was a digimon of one of the Japanese Digidestined in that dimension. But Brian's need for a digimon brought Wizardmon back to life, so they got stuck together, but Wizardmon could still be Wazumi, since he prefered to use that name since Brian and others teased him about being named 'Cake'. Brian still does tease him. But, when we meet Realemon, Wazumi found out that he couldn't be near the illusions without getting sick. He could as Wizardmon, but not Wazumi. How Realemon is controling him with an illusion, I don't know, since he couldn't even be near N'amie, this illusion girl Realemon made, without fainting. I just don't understand."

Jasmine whiped the tears off her face, and looked at Dr. Wasiku. "I don't know how he did it, but if he fused the worlds. I'll just think of this in steps. First, if he did fuse the Real and Digital world together, then we have problems. Everything will be a mess, with, well, since the D-Reaper thing, you probably understand what needs to be done. You said the Tamers were sent out. Good, since they will be needed. Especially if we can't get help from the other dimensions.

"But if the dimensions themselves ar fused together, then, we have a real serious problem, because Realemon can come here. We need to find some way to stop her illusions. They change and control reality the way she wants. I do know one person who can help. Or actually, a digimon. Lunamon. I have to find her. If the worlds are all fused together, like Wazumi says, then I should be able to get there, somehow, without a digivice or D-porter."

Jasmine stood up and walked to the door. "I'll be useless here, just someone looking at charts and maps and trying to play with theories that no longer apply. I have to do something, and I'm the only one left with my memories and free will to do so. I'm going. Good luck on this side, and I'll try to keep in communication with you." She walked out the door before Dr. Wasiku could say a word.

She left the DigiReal station, just as Takato was coming back. "Where're you going? What's going on?"

Jasmine looked at him, wondering if she had time to explain to him, and go home and prepare for the journey. She didn't know how the worlds were fused exactly, but knew that she would at least have to get to California, where the Lost digidestined lived.

"Put simply, one of my friends fused the Real and Digital world together, then put this dimension and my friend's dimension together. Because that dimension lost to a digimon who can control things with her illusions. And I need to go and stop them, now." She left, needign to get home, while there still was one.

[Lost Digi Girl]

Chapter 3-A long, wet road ahead.

Jasmine got home about ten minutes later. She had gone slowly, trying to figure out the best way to explain it, and still couldn't had no clue. She walked in the side door, and saw her mom watching tv in the living room. She snuck past the door, and walked to her room. Inside, she locked the door.

She walked over to her bed, and laid down, trying to collect her thoughts. She had to go to Acamina, in California. California. From here to California. She had no way to do it. Before, she had used the D-Porters, and would wind up there. Now she had to travel there like a normal person. But, in all honesty, she was a normal person. She was not digidestined, or a Tamer. She was a girl, no, techinically, a woman, since she was 19. She liked dimensions, liked studying anything she could find on them. But now, this was a mess, and her friends were in danger, and now, she just had to figure out a way to fix it.

She got off the bed, and went to her dresser. She got out her other blue dress, and some other clothes. Some, like her blue capris and white blouse, had been seen by her friends. Another outfit, her marron pants and shiny blue and purple overshirt, were new just this year. She got her brush and found a blue hat that she had borrowed from Jenni. And a white one that was also new and matched her white blouse. She grabbed a bit of her hair, and was looking at it, when Nick had picked the lock and came in the room.

"Hey, what's all this? You going to Acamina again?" Nick said, sarcasticly. Jasmine looked at him, wondering if she should tell him the truth. Would Jenni tell Kenny, if she had to go away for a long time? Probably not, since Kenny would go along also. But, Nick wasn't Kenny, and Jasmine knew that.

"You read the email from Dr. Wasiku. I have to go back. Watch the news, there's bound to be stuff on the digimon being here. It's really bad, and I have to go. It sounds dumb saying this, but I may be the only one of my friends left. Since she sent me back here."

"She who?" Nick asked, blocking the door. "Sent you from Acamina to here, and with you claiming that it's another dimension, how can that be? If you can't get there on your own, how can someone else?"

"Well," Jasmine said, looking for her backpack. SHe didn't have time for this, but she may as well multitask. "Pirelli took the D-Porters. They're devices that activate portals to other dimensions. She sent me here. But we don't know who created the D-Porters in the first place."

"So, find Pirelli, find D-Porters, go to Acamina. Right?" Nick said, leaning on the door. She could tell he still didn't believe her.

"No, because the plain truth is that the D-Porters are useless now, since Dr. Wasiku got an email from Wazumi that the Real and Digital worlds are now fused together, and also, our world, and Jenni's world. So now, I don't need D-Porters, I need a airplane."

"And how can you get that? This is dumb." Nick said, walking to Jasmine's computer, hooked up to a laptop, and to her D-Terminal. A small purple light on the D-Terminal was blinking. "Hey, is this normal? Purple isn't a computer color, is it?"

Jasmine zipped up her backpack and walked over to see. "Huh?" she said, turning on the D-Terminal. It said she had mail from [e-mail]^^[e-mail], dated the day after the final battle.

"What's so weird about it?"Nick asked, looking over her shoulder.

"Well, the first part of the email address is Pirelli, DPS is her D-Porter, but I don't get the last part, and why I'm getting it so late."

"So open it, read it, and go find a taxi cab to California," Nick said, backing away. "I'll wait to see you on the news"

Jasmine glared at him, knowing he was probably right about everything except the taxi. She opened the Email, to find a typical Pirelli message.

L-6 to ALL.

Hi, and we're alive!...Okay, I'm alive, for now. Brian seems to have half a mind to kill me, but we all know how he gets. Oh well. But, the D-Porters are all spazzed out, all three of them(since Hidimon took one too, silly thingy.) So, we're trying to find out way back, but it's hard, since they're broken or something(wasn't Jasmine working on fixing them or something...I think she made them worse)...So, Well, here we are, lost, so I thought I'd at least let you know that if the dimension doesn't kill me, Brian will. Bye!

Pirelli Ticony, future ghost.

Jasmine read it for a moment, a little glad. Pirelli and Brian had escaped. Somehow, with the D-Porters. It was wonderful news. Maybe they had found their way back already. They aren't dumb enough to get caught. Unless Brian did kill Pirelli along the way. But that is probably just Pirelli being silly about Brian's ranting. Pirelli was 12, although now she'd be 13, and Brian had been 16. They could survive, if they had Canamon and Wiz...Jasmine's happy moment froze and broke. Brian didn't have Wazumi. Realemon did. Did that mean she had them too, or did Brian not have Wazumi?

Jasmine disconnected the D-Terminal from the computer, and debated bringing her laptop also. Deciding against it, she put the D-Terminal in her pocket, and ran downstairs. She was her mom, still watching TV, now with Nick. "Bye guys, see ya soon."

She contiued for the door, but her mom called for her to wait. Jasmine stopped, and looked back. "Jasmine, I know what's going on," her mom said.

"Well, I'm still going." Jasmine said, knowing better than to say that Kenny won't have told. Nick sat on the sofa, snickering.

"I didn't plan on stopping you, just on giving you advice," her mom said, walking over to her. "I'm trying to find some channels that cover Acamina's news, but so far, no good. You better come out of this in one piece. Even if you can't save the world."

"Mom..." Jasmine started to say, but couldn't. She didn't know what to say. Her mom understood her dimensional stories, and friends, and really did accept it. Now she was letting her go prove it for everyone, and help the friends that most people didn't think she had. Jasmine smiled. "Okay, unless Realemon does something."

"Hopefully not," her mom replied. "Dr. Wasiku called when you were upstairs. He said to go to the DigiReal Station first."

"Okay, bye, and I'll try to email you," Jasmine said, leaving.

She got back to the DigiReal Station quickly. Dr. Wasiku was waiting outside. "I had a type of going way present for you. Since it's impratical to think that you can do this any other way," he said, handing her an envelope.

Jasmine opened it, to see a ticket to the Fairinea, a ship that went from Japan to California. Looking at the dates, she was that it seemed limitless. "Um, sir, I can understand why I get a ticket, but why one like this?"

"Well," he said, looking at her. "If something happens here, we may need you. Or, we may need someone here to go there. No one knows what the future holds, but maybe, with your help, we can do it. We just can't do it if no one can help you as you help us."

"Okay," Jasmine said. "Then I'm going."

"Let me drive you to the docks, so you can go. That wouldn't be right either," Dr. Wasiku said. He waited at the docks until the Fairinae, with Jasmine on it, left to California, where the main problems were just begining.

Bonus Chapter- P1-Oops

(Day of the Final Battle)

From the sparks and beeping noises coming from the D-Porter, Pirelli Ticony knew she'd messed up. But, she knew she wasn't good at these things yet. Brian's yelling at her to bring Jasmine back caused her to panic, and now, it was beeping, sparking, and the air started moving.

"Pirelli, get her back now, and what're you doing to that thing? How do I know you aren't working for Realemon too?" Brian yelled at her.

"Hey, I'm not Brandy, I'm not perfect, and let me try to fix it!" Pirelli cried back, watching the buttons lighting up. She watched closely, comparing the beeping one to the other two that she held. The beeping one was hers, of course. She didn't dare break Ken's or Wazumi's. Who, right now, were being attacked by Realemon's illusions. And they were coming closer to them.

"Canamon, move us away, so I can figure this out, please?" Pirelli asked. Her digimon, a small yellow bird, or more like a yellow featherball with small wings, a face, and a few purple feathers on the top, started to glow. Canamon, Pirelli, and Brian were soon covered in the glowing, and they poofed away.

They reappeared on the other side of the canyon, away from the fighting. Where Realemon was winning. Looking at it from so far away, it seemed logical for both Pirelli and Brian's views on what to do with Jasmine. It looked like they might lose, and if they did, maybe sending Jasmine away was a smart thing, since she had other digidestined friends there that could help. And Jasmine was so smart, she could figure out a way to save them. But Brian's view that Jasmine belonged here was good too, since maybe Jasmine could think of a way to help them now, instead of later, if Jasmine came back...

Pirelli realized that as of right now, Jasmine had no way to bring help. Jasmine didn't have a D-Porter. Pirelli had three, Hidimon had one, and trying to find Hidimon was like trying to make sense of Hidimon's logic or trying to make Alimon talk normal. It was plain impossible and bound to make you go crazy yourself.

"Um, Brian, how about we go help find Jasmine, instead of bring her here, we go to her?" Pirelli asked, hiding the beeping D-Porter in her pocket, next to her Digivice and her D-Terminal. She got out Ken's, and set up the coding for going to Jasmine's dimension.

"Yeah, and why not send Realemon to another dimension at the same time?" Brian said, sarcasticly. Then he noticed Pirelli activate the last D-Porter, and handed Brian Ken's D-Porter. "Oh no you don't!" he yelled, as Canamon prepared to teleport her away. He grabbed for the D-Porter she held.

"But I was doing what you were saying. Besides, is it good to have all three active right now?" Pirelli said, trying to turn off Wazumi's D-Porter. That was part of the problem with why hers was currently broken. She didn't know how to stop the process once it was started. She had tried to reverse Jasmine's porter to bring her back here, and it broke.

Brian glared at her. "Why'd Hidimon give them to you?" he asked, giving her back Ken's D-Porter, still preparing the portal. They always took a little while, which is why they were in this mess. "If you do something dumb, you will be in worse trouble than Brandy is in. And you aren't the one that betrayed the group, so think about that."

Pirelli turned to face Brian, or more specificly, to look up at him, since he was 16 and she was 12. Angry, she shoved the two D-Porters in the pocket with the other. "I'm trying the best I can. And it's not like I want us to lose either! Ponce is in there, just like Michelle. And your friends are my friends, even if they're older. I don't want bad things to happen, and I'm trying to do this right. I'm not the computer person, Jasmine and Ken and Wazumi are!"

Brian glared at her, then noticed a strange glowing coming out of her pocket. "Pirelli, did you really break them?"

Pirelli looked, and pulled out all three. All of them were set for different places, and were beeping, glowing, and sparking up a storm. "Um, I didn't do it." she said quickly, resorting to a kid's comment. "You're smarter than me, you fix them!" She tried to put them in Brian's hands.

Just then, a portal opened. Pirelli couldn't tell which D-Porter had opened it. She didn't have time to look either, as the portal pulled her, Canamon and Brian through.

[Lost Digi Girl]

Chapter 4-Rearranging Memories

A few days later, Jasmine got off the ship, at Fairy Beach, a beach in California, not too far from Acamina. She wasn't sure how'd she get there, but at least she was on the right side of the ocean. She stopped by a7-11 to get a map, and began walking to Acamina, since it was better than sitting and doing nothing.

She got to Acamina in a reasonable amount of time. It was just about lunchtime. She was a little surprised at a noticible lack of digimon, if the worlds have been fused together. For all she knew, maybe it was a big trick and she wasn't even in the right dimension. But, if Dr. Wasiku had sent her here, and everyone thought that something was happening, it probably was. Maybe there was just stuff going on right now at Japan, and any attacks in California were done. She shoved that idea out of her head. She didn't like thinking that her friends had lost.

The first place she went to was Kenny's house, where Jenni used to live before she went to college. Several of the other digidestined lived near here, and maybe Realemon wouldn't have taken Kenny, since he might be considered useless, compared to some of the others. She soon found out that Kenny wasn't there, and often would hang out with Ponce, somewhere else. Since Kenny would now be about 13, it wasn't too illogical. But his mom did notice that Pirelli never came over, something she had been doing since she met Kenny at school.

Just as Jasmine was trying to decide what to do(go to Wazumi's old appartment to see if there was anything there), she noticed a crowd of people getting off a nearby bus, talking about how dangerous downtown was getting. Remembering that downtown usually wasn't bad, she went to the busstop to wait for the bus to take her there.

Once on the bus near downtown, she saw why people would see downtown as dangerous. There were some digimon here, some attacking, some not. The area nearby looked like it had been bombed or something, and in the middle of the area, there was a tall black tower. It was strange looking, and extremely out of place. It seemed to give an evil feel to it. Passing over a bridge on the bus, she thought she saw a small glimmer along the side of the black tower, but when she looked again, it was gone.

Getting off the bus, Jasmine began walking towards the dark area. She felt a bit glad that the area wasn't at all near CSUA, where she, Jenni, and the others had gone to college. The dark area creeped her out.

The closer she got to the dark area, she saw the building get darker, some covered in ash and soot. Some were broken, some streets were filled with trash. She noticed some digimon hiding in broken buildings and abandoned cars. Everything just saddened her. She saw no people in this area. Perhaps it was originally from the digital world and got placed here, which could explain the lack of people.

A couple blocks away from the tower, she found a very tall fence, surrounding the whole perimeter. Some digimon were guarding any entrences. She still saw no people, and hadn't found the glimmer she had seen.

The dark area ended at the seashore, leaving a black, soot covered beach, with a small island in the distance, and from Jasmine's angle, covered in mist and trees. A small glimmer of hope appeared in Jasmine's mind, as she thought about the past. She followed the beach, until she found a bridge that looked like it would lead right up to the island. The bridge looked fairly new, the beach was clean and tidy.

Jasmine ran down the bridge to the island, desperately hoping that it was something safe, unlike the dark area. Nearing closer to the island, she couldn't see through the mist, except for a small light that was more inland, near the forest she had seen while on the beach. She blindly followed the light, remembering the past, hoping she knew where she was.

As she reached the foot of a hill, she recalled a bad experience here, and knew exactly where she was. Running up the hill and out of most of the mist and fog, she soon saw a tall golden tower, out of place with anything normally found in Acamina. It was about 5 stories tall, and surrounded by a small forest. The plain existance of the tower confirmed what Jasmine knew about this place. She ran past the trees, and up to the tower. A light purple mist was clinging it, but as Jasmine walked through the door, nothing happened. She walked up the spiraling staircase, up to the entrance to the main room of the tower. A dark shadow was in place of the door, but Jasmine walked through it like it was nothing;for her, it was nothing.

The room was empty, bare of anything. There were windows, the floor, and the ceiling. A small doorway in the back lead to another room, and a catlike digimon sat on those stairs. The digimon was black, and had small streaks of gold mixed in with the fur. It had gold eyes, a gold collar, and a unhappy and annoyed face. The digimon wasn't looking at Jasmine, but still spoke to her. "Welcome to Lulu Tower, Digidestined. Why in the world would you come here, and if you touch a thing, you're dead."

Jasmine smiled, walking in. "Glad to see that you haven't changed one bit at all, Lunamon. Even Realemon can't change you."

Lunamon looked at Jasmine, and climbed down the stairs, into the big room. "Just what we needed. Proof that the world has gone nuts. Welcome back, miss dimension girl."

[Lost Digi Girl]

Chapter 5- Hoping for friends

Jasmine looked at Lunamon, surprised at how different she had become, even though she was just like Jasmine remembered her to be. Her once pretty black and gold fur was not messy, tangled, and dirty. Her shiny gold eyes were cold, uncaring, and lonely. Her voice and attitude echoed the sadness Lunamon had last year, when she had almost gone back to her past self. She still seemed good, yet slightly negative, and next to Jasmine’s slightly more than positive side, people often thought they were partners. But Lunamon had another partner; Jasmine wasn’t digidestined at all.

The poor digimon had never had a good life. She was from some other dimension, where she met Realemon, about 8 years ago. Realemon’s influence and a weird vision made Lunamon decide that she was evil, would digivolve to Daemon someday, and was male. Even after coming to this dimension and being apart from Realemon, she still felt this way. She became Galulumon, and built Lulu Tower, preparing to someday rule the world, or something like that. Only after meeting Alysha 2 years ago did she learn that it wasn’t like that, and that Alysha was her partner. But after Realemon returned to this dimension, she sent Alysha away, which had sent Lunamon into being cranky and slightly mean and obsessive about her tower. Lunamon now seemed to echo this old way of being.

Jasmine ran over to Lunamon, and picked her up. “What happened here?” Lunamon didn’t say anything, and the two stood there, Jasmine hugging Lunamon, for what seemed like hours.

She carried her over to the west window, facing the ocean. The window was low enough to have people sit in it. She sat down, and let Lunamon go. The digimon walked over and leaned against the side of the window.

“Lunamon,” Jasmine said, a bit unsure, not wanting to spark her into getting mad, “What happened here? The worlds, together? It’s not right, not normal, shouldn’t be this way. Acamina, it’s wrong, thing’s aren’t normal. The tower’s the same, except the island’s in the real world, near Acamina, but this place hasn’t changed from last year...”<br>
“Last year?” Lunamon cried. “Everything’s different from one year to the next, why not now? The whole world’s different from the way it was last year. Everyone’s gone, the world’s being taken over by Realemon, it’s hopeless, pointless, may as well be dead since everyone else practically is.”<br>
Jasmine looked away from Lunamon, not wanting to beleive. She looked out to sea, where on the other side, her friends were now fighting the same fight her friends here had lost. Looking down at the ground, she remembered times working on the D-Terminal or D-Porters, watching her friends practice or talk.

“The D-Porters,” Jasmine whispered, looking at the stone floor inside the tower, trying not to get sick. “Hidimon had one, Pirelli the others. What about them?”<br>
“I’m not an idiot,” Lunamon shot at her. “I’ve tried making new ones, to find those imbeciles, but it’s not working, curse her and her friends. Hidimon hasn’t come back yet, the stupid psychic digital waste, and Pirelli took Brian after she broke the others. They’re just as lost as all the others that Realemon caught. The newer digidestined escaped somehow, but hmm,” Lunamon said, smiling. “Brian’ll have a wonderful day when he gets back, after finding out that he was right about Brandy, she betrayed us, and he’ll get to show that he was right. I wonder if he’ll kill her.”<br>
“Lunamon!” Jasmine yelled, disgused with Lunamon’s thinking, and the plain truth of it all. They were alone, the others gone, trapped in a illusion, where they were practically no longer themselves. She covered her face, as her eyes began watering. “Why can’t you help?” she whispered. “You used to be able to stop illusions. Your spell on the door’s still there, keeping N’amie and any illusions out. You were able to once help Jenni and Ken. Why not now?”<br>
“I tried, oh, I tried a lot. But the tower’s old, built with stone and my energy. And now, it’s taking it all to keep it up, and keeping the illusions out. Did you notice that I expaned the spell. No illusions should get close. But, it won’t last forever. I’ll be right back,” Lunamon said, hopping off of the windowsill. She went to the stairs up to her room.

She returned with a folded paper. “Here, something wrote a long time ago. Oh, and if you ever get into the room, it might help.” Lunamon said, standing on the windowsill again.

“No one can get into your room,” Jasmine said, holding the paper but not yet reading it. “It’s safe, with the aspect keys. How can you suggest that I, someone that’s not even dgidestined, be able to enter a room where only the four Lost digidestined using the four Apsect Key digidestined can get into?”<br>
“Jasmine,” Lunamon said, annoyed. “You use that term like it means something. You’re practically digidestined, it doesn’t really matter. If you weren’t destined to help them, then I don’t know what to call you. And after that note, you might reconsider that anyway.”

Jasmine opened the paper. It was a hand written by Brandy, dated the day of the Final Battle. On it, a brief message was written.--If something happens to me where I can’t be in control of Alimon, Jenni gets her. If she can’t, then Jasmine. Keep her safe from Realemon.--

“Don’t worry, she’s safe,” Lunamon said, with a hint of a smile. “She’s hidden in the north, in the cave somewhere; Realemon abandoned it when she built her tower.”<br>
Lunamon stood up, looking out to sea. “With the two of you, I know you can do it. I’m tired of all this annoying waiting, and I’m no good just sitting, slowly holding the tower up. Another 6 years should do it. If you need the place longer than that, build it out of stone, not energy.”<br>
“Lunamon, what’re you saying?” Jasmine asked, leaning over to look at her. She was crying, her eyes a bit less cold, her voice a bit nicer.

“You’d have been a wonderful partner. Find her, and see how you do. Good luck, save the world, and don’t let Wedge break my tower,” Lunamon said, then jumped out of the window. Her body sparkled, and faded into mist, becoming part of the purple mist that now shone strongly around the tower.

Chapter 6-Echoes of the Past

Jasmine sat in the window the rest of the day, alone, thinking. Lunamon...she didn't want to think about Lunamon. But the tower reminded her of Lunamon; It was Lunamon. So she spend the day covering her face, not wanting to see where she was. She knew she was being childish, but she had never really lost someone, not like this. Lunamon was gone, forever. The others might be saved, but not Lunamon. Not the way she had been before. Gone...

When night came, Jasmine finally got off the window, and climbed down the stairs to the ground floor. She set up her bed near the door, and just looked out, into the grass. She eventually fell asleep.

In the morning, she woke to the grass outside the doorway. For a moment, she was confused, but looking inside, everything came rushing back. Lunamon, gone, her friends, controled. Pirelli, Brian, Hidimon, lost. She was alone, with the only bit of help being one crazy digimon. Who had been locked away in a cave for a year, so she was probably more crazy than before.

Which reminded Jasmine of what she had to do, where to go. To a place with just as bad of memories. Memories of the friends she'd lost, just like Lunamon. No, not like Lunamon. It was possible to remove illusions, somehow. But it had taken either Hidimon or Lunamon to do so, so maybe it was hopeless. But she had to try. If she could at least find Alimon, that would at least be one person saved. Maybe that was the way to do this. Save one person at a time, and stop others from finding themselves in the same place as her friends. On the wrong side, lost to Realemon's evil plans.

Jasmine packed her things, determined not to just sit and cry. Jenni had done that, after Realemon had messed with her, and Lunamon fixed it. But Jenni had been so unhappy, knowing what she'd done, or might have done. Sitting and crying was not the way to save the world. Going and doing things was.

It was finally about noon when Jasmine left the tower, and started walking north. The path filled her with memories, remembering what was happening. Kenny singing, Jenni crying, everyone being themselves. But why had they thought Brandy was herself? If Brandy had betrayed them, she had done it well. There were only two people who thought she was different. Crying Jenni who didn't want to cooperate with her, and Brian, who highly disliked her. But those two had been like that for a while.

She reached the Memory Canyon in a normal amount of time. The place where Realemon had been hiding the whole time. A place where any digidestined had their memories rearranged or missing, as long as they were in the canyon. All of them avoided the place, so it was a perfect place for a digimon to hide, since they were immune to the effects. The battle had been on the ground above the canyon, but anyone Realemon had cought, they'd been sent into the cave, inside the canyon. She slowly approached the canyon. How was she going to get in? Canamon had teleported her both times. There was a very narrow ledge, going along the side, which might lead to the cave, but she wasn't sure.

Walking near the edge, she felt the ground shake. She ran away from the edge, worried. This was Californai, it might be a earthquake, but it was the digital world too, so maybe not...

The ground under her collapsed, and she fell. She tried to grab the edge as she fell, but it did no good. Luckily, it was only a few feet, as she landed on something soft and purple, inside a tunnel under the ground. She climbed off the purple thing, to find that it was a Drimogemon. As soon as she got off, it left.

Jasmine looked up, now out of reach of the hole she fell from. She started to walk down the tunnel, in the opposite direction of the Drimogemon, not wanting to bother it. The part of her mission to help included fixing the worlds, and the digimon might like to hear that and help, but it was too risky right now. What if Realemon found out too soon, and stopped them?

Further down the tunnel, she found a Gotsumon, who actually stopped and asked if she was lost. But as she tried to ask for directions for Realemon's cave, it ran. Sighing, she continued on her own.

A long while later, Jasmine found a stone wall, with some scratchings on it. After a while, she realized it was someone's bad handwriting, made worse with bad spelling. It seemed to say "I curse Michelle and Nani for running, and making me leave this cursed digimon in here. Dumb digivice lock."

Looking at the wall, she guessed that Michelle could mean Michael, since there had been some confusion between the two. She had no clue about anyone named Nani. Closest was N'amie Pas, the illusion girl. But who would be a digimon that was cursed, and why have a digivice lock? What was a digivice lock anyway, not that it mattered, since Jasmine didn't have one. She wasn't digidestined, which was why she remembered this anyway. She got out her D-Terminal, the only thing really connecting her to her friends besides the memories. She wasn't sure how or why she'd gotten it, she just found it one day with her dimension stuff and computer junk, and then a girl started emailing her and her friend Sam. And then they both appeared in Jenni's world, although Pirelli had somehow brought Sam, while Jasmine just was testing something with a new screen. But that screen had never appeared after the first day she used it.

Fustrated, she kicked the door. "Come on, please let me in." She tried to think, who would be cursed and left in here? Realemon? Hidimon? Maybe Alimon. Those were the most likely ones, known to have been here, and annoying enough to be called cursed. Unless, it was something different. No, she had to think it was something related. If this was Realemon's cave, she'd want to be safe, and keep unwanted people out. Even though the memory effects would keep the humans out, digimon would come in, unless kept out. But Realemon had at one point wanted her, along with Ken and Wazumi. Even though she had them now, she didn't need the cave, so, it'd be safe to enter. Unless it was a trap...

"Come ON! Let me in. No Digidestined can come in here, so no digivice can be used for a lock. This is nuts." Jasmine yelled, annoyed and tired. She looked at her D-Terminal for the time- 6 p.m. She didn't notice the word Digivice glow for a moment, but she did see the wall disappear, revealing the cave.

It seemed to be the back entrance to the cave, since she remembered the large, 3 foot square metal box being far back in the cave, but now it sat right in front of her. She looked at the wall, and saw pale yellow robes, just like what her friends had worn, when Realemon had them being slaves in here.

The only thing new in the cave, the only thing not making her remember bad memories, was a glowing ball, as big as the machine, floating in the air. Jasmine walked to the ball, trying to get a better veiw. It was just blue smoke, covering a small green alien digimon. Jasmine pulled the sleeping digimon out of the smoke. It was Alimon. Brandy's digimon. The smoke resembled a type of sheild Alimon might use as Alidramon, her champion. But right now, Alimon just laid there, asleep.

"Alimon?" Jasmine said. Alimon didn't wake up. "Alimon?" Jasmine asked louder. Alimon opened her eyes. "Disturb do not," she said, then went back to sleep. Jasmine decided to let her sleep some more; maybe she didn't want to be in the cave any more than Jasmine did, and Jasmine hadn't been in there for a year. She carried Alimon out into the tunnel, and went back to the hole. By that point, it was night, and Jasmine decided to wait until morning to figure out how to get out, and fell asleep, leaning against the wall, still with Alimon.

Whoa! That's some cool stuff!

Bonus Chapter 2-Tombe

From the moment his bike got a flat tire and he fell onto the street, Kenny knew it was going to be a bad day. He had to go the the meeting. Adventure, he called it. Still. That way, his mom thought he was going to AJ's for DnD, not Realemon's tower for some meeting where they wouldn't respect him anyway. He got off the bike and began to walk it to the meeting, thinking.

Was he really too young to help? He was digidestined, he was 13, and he had his sister to help. She was 19, she could help...that is, she could help when not being uses as Realemon to test illusions. He could understand most of Realemon's plans, most of her reasoning, but not the reason why she kept using Jenni as her guinea pig. She took Ken, illusioned him, and made him do things to her. It wasn't fair. But she said it'd help to make sure she could protect the world. Protect it from those who wanted to harm it.

Luckily, Wazumi had prevented that. By fusing the two worlds, he made it impossible for anyone to come. So, the few of their group that had been found untrustworthy couldn't come back, couldn't interfer. Kenny saw why ranting Brian was bad. He caused trouble protesting about other trouble. Pirelli teleported all over and caused trouble that way. And made Ponce go nuts. So those two were gone. Ponce had his memories modified to make sure he would stay sane, and out of the way. He was 11, and not as helpful. Hidimon was pure insanity, so being rid of her was wonderful for everyone, except maybe Jenni. It was her digimon after all.

Then there was Jasmine. She was probably the most dangerous of the ones sent away. She knew too much. It was her research that had helped Wazumi do this anyway, fuse the worlds together. She was dimensionally obsessed, and too protective of her friends. She could be a risk, but was safely gone back in her home dimension....Kenny dropped his bike. Her dimension had been fused with their own. She was here now, and trapped in here, just like they were. That wasn't good. It was worse that letting Hidimon sit on your head. He began to run to the tower, needing to tell them.

About half an hour later, he had finally reached it, out of breath. He ran to the room he knew Wazumi often stayed in. No one. He went to where Realemon kept Jenni and Ken when working with them. Ken was gone, Jenni was unconcious. And the door was locked, so Kenny couldn't even go in and see if his sister was okay. That was the one thing he hated about Realemon. She didn't care that he wanted to be with his sister. He loved her, nothing else really mattered. But she never paid attention, just treated him like dirt when it came to him being with Jenni. And Jenni wasn't even that high on her list-it was Ken that she was more interested in. Ken was the smart one, Ken was the experienced one, the one who knew more about protecting the world the way she wanted to. Kenny didn't matter there either. He was too new, too young, and barely there. But he tried. For Jenni. She'd want him to help, if she ever got to talk to him. But no, he only got to see the illusioned Jenni. The only time he really saw his sister was when it was like right now. Him outside a room where she was trapped and unaware that the person who loved her the most stood outside.

It was a while before he had moved on, lost in angry thoughts and wanting his sister back. Why'd Realemon need to come protect the world anyway? He highly doubted her story that her partner Jamie said the world was in danger. They had never even met Jamie. That's all they knew-Realemon's partner's name was Jamie. He walked to other rooms where he might have found Wazumi, or maybe even Brandy. She was weird, wrong, not normal. He didn't know why, it looked like Brandy should be normal, but wasn't.

He didn't notice the black shadow as he walked down the hall. He didn't see the thing that appeared in the pathway, causing him to fall over.

"Tu es tombe," Realemon said, smirking. Or at least he thought she'd be smirking, as he rolled over and looked. She was all black, shadowy, barely visible in the black halls of the dimly lgiht halls in the huge tower she created out of illusions. She was darkness and scary and made reality the way she wanted it. She wanted him to fall, and he did.

"Yeah, I fell. I went tombe," Kenny said, still angry at her for what she'd done to Jenni. Jenni always said tombe. Him and Pirelli had picked up some french from when Jenni, Ken, and Wazumi tried to talk in it. Apparently she had too, or maybe just made him think she did. It was hard to know what she knew.

"You are a pain, and I've been watching you." she said.

"So, I am important? At least enough to watch?" Kenny said, a bit hopeful for the wrong reason.

"No, you keep getting in the way, and I keep seeing what you think. It's annoying. Too much effort spend on a child."

"I'm a teenager. Not a kid." Kenny stubbornly said. Jenni would have remembered him when he always said he was a preteen. He was a real teen now.

"Go back home, you don't need to be here," Realemon said, suddenly using her illusion on Kenny, then disappeared.

Kenny got up, dusting himself off. He had to get home, soon. Jenni would be home soon enough, and he had homework to do. And maybe go make sure everything was safe around. It wouldn't do if Jenni came home and got attacked along the way because some stray digimon that didn't understand Realemon's way was the best way to live decided to rebel against one who Realemon favored. That wouldn't do at all. They had to be taught a lesson.

[Lost Digi Girl]

Chapter 7-Island Troubles

Jasmine woke up by being blasted by water. It took her a couple moments to realize Alimon was doing it, but she wasn't sure why. She turned around, covering her face. "Alimon, stop it, please! It's me, Jasmine!"

"An Illusion are you?" Alimon said, or asked; Jasmine wasn't sure which. At least she had stopped her attack. Jasmine turned around, and raised her hands a bit.

"I'm normal, not illusion, perfectly sane and relaly myself. If we go to the tower, I can show you that I'm not illusioned....Lunamon sent me here..." Jasmine stopped, getting choked up on the memory. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go back, but it was the best way to show she wasn't illusioned, and besides, Lunamon had done that so they could use the tower.

Alimon thought about it for a moment. "Okay!"

"But, how can we get out?" Jasmine said, mostly to herself.

"You aren't leaving," a voice said. Looking to see who it was, Jasmine and Alimon saw that it was just a couple Gotsumon. But, they were still on, or tecnically in Kertermus Island, so maybe they weren't just Gotsumon

"We haven't done anything, and don't plan on doing anything. Do you know of any way out?" Jasmine said, trying to be good, trying to not get on their bad side, although by the looks on the Gotsumon' faces, they already were.

"You were caught looking for Realemon. Therefore, you must be part of her group and are under arrest."

Jasmine just covered her face with her hands, somewhat embarrassed, and annoyed. They were the same Gotsumon from the southern part of Kertermus Island, trying to arrest anyone who had done anything wrong, in the past or present. They had even arrested Wazumi for things he did in his past life.

"I'm not working with her," Jasmine said. "I was looking for the cave, to free Alimon. Now, I'm trying to go to the tower. Where there's an anti illusion field on it, so you can have your proof there. If I can't go in, I'm illusioned. And seriously, do you have to do all this jail business anyway?"

"Yeah," one of the Gotsumon said. "We've always done this."

"Hey," another one interupted. "She looks just like one of the known 'lackies'."

"Jenni!" Jasmine said excitedly, before she caught on to the real meaning. Jenni was still illusioned.

"So, you know them?" the leader of the Gotsumon asked. "How can we trust you then?"

"Trust I you can," Alimon said, smiling.

"We know full well that you are the digimon belonging to another of Realemon's servents. Not a chance. Both of you are under arrest."

"No." Jasmine said stubbornly. "Alimon, Brandy said for you to listen to me, so please, help create a way to get us out, using their help of course." Jasmine said, really hoping that Alimon understood things better than she could say them.

Alimon stepped over to the side wall, facing the Gotsumon. "Water hands!" she said, as water came out of her hands, crashing into the Gotsumon. They were forced to the back wall, and were knocked out.

Alimon climbed up the pile of Gotsumon up to the hole in the ceiling, and got out. Jasmine followed right behind her. They were just starting to wake up as she climbed out the hole. "If you want to find us and the truth, we'll be at Lulu Tower," Jasmine said, as her and Alimon started to run away.

A bit later, they were back, and in the main room. Jasmine was still drying off, but didn't feel like changing her clothes. She was looking around the big room, trying to plan out what to do next. There was no way she could try to get into the tower. Alimon was a rookie, and Jasmine couldn't digivolve her. Brandy was her real partner, only she could do that stuff. Alimon was just on loan, if you could call it that. Mostly, Jasmine would be babysitting her.

"Jasmine, see I found what, come!" Alimon said, standing by the stairs out. Rather than try to translate, Jasmine just walked over there. Alimon was pointing to a smal knob, barely noticable. Cautiously, Jasmine touched it, and nothing happened. Remembering what Lunamon said about a good thing in her room, Jasmine pulled on the knob, as if opening a door. The wall moved, like a door would, revealing a overflowing closet, full of stuff. Jasmine and Alimon hid behind the door as the stuff fell out. Cots, tables, chairs, anything Lunamon had had in the main room, it had been shoved in here.

"This is barely helpful," Jasmine said, a bit depressed. "It helps with living here, but not saving tthe others."

"Another way we'll find then," Alimon replied. Jasmine sighed, going over to the stairs that lead up to Lunamon's private room. She touched the barrier that kept anyone out, unless they had their Aspect key. Jasmine wasn't digidestined, she had no Apsect key. All she was was the friend of the digidestined, a friend of the ones who could get in. That is, Ken could get in if Kenny stood at the door as his Aspect key. Pirelli's key was Michelle, and Brian's was Ponce. But those two were gone, all the others would be illusioned and couldn't get in. Jenni needed Alysha to get in, but Alysha needed no one. And both were illusioned anyway. Jenni as a 'lackey' as the Gotsumon said, and Alysha just without her memories. Like, the way she used to be before she met Jenni 2 years ago. Jasmine got an idea. It was probably a useless one, but it was worth trying.

"Alimon," Jasmine said, smiling. "Any idea where Chesum is?"

[Lost Digi Girl]

Chapter 8-Address Hunt

Alimon had no clue. Jasmine was still determined to at least look into it. Trying to find Alysha, maybe the last sane digidestined in Acamina, or Chesum, whereever that was. But she didn' know where to look. She didn't know her last name, or where Chesum was. So, she decided to look at the one place she probably could find info. Jenni's house. She'd been there before, practically lived there. Even if Jenni wasn't there, she probably cound find something.

The two left the tower, and the island. Walking down the soot covered beach. And into the dark area, still creeping her out. Even more, now that she knew it was this way because of Realemon. She didn't know any other way back to Acamina. She didn't even know if this was part of Acamina. But, it still lead back to the buses she knew in proper Acamina.

Her and Alimon got on the bus that went to Jenni's house with little trouble. The people seemed to be somewhat used to digimon here. They just thought she was weird to be with one. Which made sense if any people with digimon were her friends, but now on the bad side...like Jenni.She had a slightly funny thought. What would normal people think of Hidimon, controled or not? Hidimon was crazy, insane, and fun. People would probably run from her, good or not.

At Jenni's house, her grandma was home, but that was normal. She just didn't know if acting like Jenni was here would be normal. Her grandma walked otuside, and Jasmine ducked behind a bush.

"Jasmine, is that you?" Jenni's grandma asked.

Sighing, Jasmine stood up. She had noticed that Alimon was still hiding. "Um, yeah. Sorry."

"Jenni's not here, but you're welcome to wait for her." she replied, and lead Jasmine inside. Jasmine went straight to Jenni's room, and found it exactly the way it was last year. White walls buried in fuzzy pictures, drawings of characters she planned to use in her stories, and other weird junk on her walls. A bulletin board covered in little memento items, like one little clip she said she made on her first sleepover, at Alysha's house. Pictures of friends covered her desk, but none from the last year. The most recent picture was one of her, Jenni, Brandy, Ken, and Hidimon in an illusionary human form, on their first day of college, the year before.

It took a while to find Jenni's address book. But, it was almost empty. Just her family's addresses. No friends at all. Especially a friend who had lived in Japan for 5 years before Jenni found her again 2 years ago. And was now in Chesum. Whereever that way.

She walked downstairs and asked if she could use the computer. She started to email her mom, just to let her know she was okay, and to cover for what she was really doing-looking online for where Chesum was. Once she had a rough idea, she got off the computer, to see Jenni's grandma looking to see how a pretty blue shirt and skirt outfit looked on her.

"It's good to see you again. Where were you all this time?" she asked.

"Home, back in Japan," Jasmine said, chosing not to say that it was in another dimension. She didn't tell very many people that theory.

"Jenni didn't want this outfit, said it reminded her of bad things. Maybe you, since you had been gone. If you want, you can have it. Just try to make her stop disappearing for several days at a time."

"She disappears?" Jasmine asked, confused.

"Yes, doesn't say where she's going or anything. Doesn't say anything. She's just a lot sadder since you left. A few times, she keeps saying she's lost two friends, but I just know about you. Maybe you can help her."

"Yeah,I was just going to find her other friend now," Jasmine said, nodding. She knew that the friend Jenni would really be missing would be Hidimon though.

"That's good. Where are you staying while back in town?"

"I'll see if I can still stay at Wazumi's but if not, another friend's house." Jasmine said, kinda lying. She had no intention of going to Wazumi and her apartment. She'd just stay at Lulu tower. And find a way to get there without going through the darkness.

"You're welcome to stay here if you want, and you can have this outfit. It'd look better on you than Jenni anyway."

Jasmine smiled, and took it, and changed. There was even a little head scarf to go with it. It kinda helped with her plan. She looked even more like Jenni in this outfit. She snuck out, on her way to the small neighboring town known as Chesum.

[Lost Digi Girl]

NOTE-This chapter was got long, so it is in the next two posts


Chapter Nine-Awkward Encounter(Part 1)

Jasmine and Alimon took the bus down to Chesum. It wasn’t that far, no farther than the college was. But the bus didn’t go all the way there, and not down the streets she needed, so they ended up walking for a while. It was getting dark by the time they got to Alysha’s street, in the middle of a countrylike area, with quiet little streets and few people walking around.

All along the way, Jasmine kept trying to find a way to explain everything to her. How could she do it, tell a basic stranger that she is more than what she knew, but the one who could help her, and whom she was to help, was gone? How could she tell someone she had barely known about friends whom they had shared were now gone, and it was up to the two of them to save them? How could she tell a girl whom her best friend had considered just as close a friend as herself and Brandy had been? Was it even the right choice, to ruin a girl’s life by telling her about her forgotten past, and that if they don’t do something, the world, no, the four dimensions, would be taken over and ruined forever? But if she didn’t, then, Lunamon…Thinking of Lunamon still made her sad, almost making her think that maybe it was her fault. Lunamon had died to protect the tower so Jasmine would have a safe place. But, she would have wanted Alysha to be safe. Even if illusioned to forget everything she knew about the past, Lunamon still had cared, and would want her safe. And perhaps, the two of them could see what Lunamon had in her room, something that might help them.

It took a few minutes to get out of her thoughts and back into actually looking at where she was going, and try to see which house was Alysha’s. She didn’t notice right away that a girl a little younger than her was staring at her. When she did see her, she thought she was looking at Alimon. But, she remembered what Alysha had looked like, and some pictures of when her and Jenni were kids. They had looked like they could be sisters, just like Jasmine did. The girl staring was just like that; a possible sister of Jenni’s.

“Um, excuse me,” Jasmine called, running over to her. “Can I ask you something?”<br>
“I guess, sure,” the girl replied, still looking at her. “Are you Jenni?”<br>
“Are you Jenni’s friend?” Jasmine asked at the exact same time. They both smiled, looking at each other closely.

“I’m Jenni’s friend, Jasmine. Are you Alysha?”<br>
“Yeah, how do you know Jenni?” Alysha asked, leading her to the porch.

“She’s…she’s one of my best friends. But due to an extremely weird and rather unbelievable story. And, I’m not sure if, I’ll leave it to you if you want. I don’t want to really bother you if you don’t want to be.” Jasmine said, nervous. She wanted to make sure Alysha wanted to be in this mess again.

“It can’t be weirder than the things that have been happening all over, can it?” Alysha asked.

“I suppose not, but then again, if you mean what I think, they’re intertwined,” Jasmine said, thinking.

“Like that?” Alysha said, pointing to Alimon.

“Digimon am I.” Alimon said. Jasmine nodded.

“And you’re saying that you and Jenni are friends because of this?” Alysha said, a bit skeptical.

“More than that. The honest truth is that I met her when I first came here, about 2 or 3 years ago, to this dimension. But, that’s part of the problem here now. There are several worlds that have been put together. The digital worlds are some, and your and my worlds. And, there is this mess, causing trouble. Me and Jenni and our friends had been fighting it,” Jasmine said, looking down, at the ground. She didn’t want to look at Alysha, questioned why she was even telling her this. She could still leave, not tell Alysha how involved she was besides knowing Jenni.

“Other worlds? You’re being silly. But you came for more of a reason than to tell a silly story, didn’t you,” Alysha said, curious.

“Somewhat…” Jasmine said, hesitating. “But, it’s up to you if you want to know. It’s not a good thing to know, so if you want to just be like normal, then I won’t tell. I’m not even sure if I should tell.”<br>
“So either I hear a horrible secret, or worry about Jenni. I’d like the story please,” Alysha said, looking at Jasmine, questioningly.

“Are you sure?” Jasmine said, rubbing her eyes. She hadn’t noticed that she had started crying, she was barely aware of anything these days.

“I want to know. Jenni is my friend, even if I haven’t seen her for years,” Alysha said.

“Technically,” Jasmine started, finally looking at Alysha. “not really. I have to say, you don’t look like the girl I remember. Which, was you. Because, you were part of this too. Part of a crazy story and you got lucky in a way and got sent home, but made so you wouldn’t remember, no one knows why really, probably to make Lunamon upset and useless since she needed you, but, somehow she survived for longer than the others did, until a couple days ago, but I need your help. I think you might be able to help me, help stop what’s happened.” Jasmine said, barely stopping to take a breath. She covered her eyes, not wanting to see Alysha, who reminded her of Jenni as much as people had told her that she did too.

“How can I help?” Alysha asked in disbelief. “I don’t know anything, I don’t understand this really.”<br>
“Lunamon’s gone,” Jasmine said, still not looking. “The others got caught. But Lulu Tower, a place Lunamon made, it’s safe, and she said there was something in there, something that can help. But, you were one of the few that could get in there. And I think that she’d want you to have it, she was never right after you got send back here, with no memories. So we’d have to tell you a story that seems made up, and I guess not want to help me. But, I guess, I shouldn’t have bothered you. I should go,” Jasmine babbled again. She started to walk away.

“Hey,” Alysha called from the porch. “If I was to believe this story, what would you need me to do?”

Chapter 10-Unpleasent Confrontation


Jasmine turned around, and looked at her. “Go to Lulu Tower and enter Lunamon’s room. You were her partner, you could always get in. Only people Lunamon chose could get inside.”

Alysha smiled, but wasn’t looking straight at Jasmine anymore. Jasmine turned around, and almost fell over. She saw a short little girl whom she knew to be anything but.

Brandy was walking down the street and happened to look up and see her loyal digimon Alimon, along with what looks to be Jenni and Alysha talking. Thinking to herself, Brandy wondered what Alysha would be doing talking with Jenni.

Brandy walked closer so they could see her and then when she got close enough she was heard saying, “Hey Alysha, ALIMON!!!!, and Jenni.” She was then seen with a smirk on her face.

Jasmine tried to recover from what she saw, but didn’t believe it, didn’t want to believe it. Didn’t want to deal with this here, with Alysha here. She looked back at Alysha. “Um, I’ll come over again later on, or you could come over, either’s good.” Jasmine then left, walking very quickly along with Alimon. She glanced back to Alysha; she had gone inside.

“Where are you going Jasmine? (seeming a little confused thinking it was jenni at first), Don’t you have time for an old friend?” Brandy asked.

Jasmine looked at Brandy, walking a bit slower. “I’m sort of busy, so, maybe another time.”

“Jasmine, Brandy it is…talk lets to her.” Alimon said looking at Jasmine.

Jasmine stopped, and looked down at Alimon. Whispering, she asked, “Do you think it’s safe, or the best idea? I mean, after everything that happened before, and what might have happened since…”

“Safe I feel she is, harmless looks from it she is. But cautious be we must, if talk to her we do.” Alimon said in reply to Jasmine as Brandy started to get closer.

“If you think so. I’d prefer to do this somewhere else, but away from Alysha’s fine,” Jasmine said, turning to face Brandy.

“Ahh so you do have time to talk to me how nice…Hi Alimon…So tell me dear Jasmine how is every one? Dear Lunamon, good ‘ole Brian, Jenni, and the rest of the gang.? Oh and trust me if Realemon wanted you she would have already gotten you so don’t need to worry for now.” Brandy said smirking.

“Okay…” Jasmine said, nervous. “Besides Alysha, you’re the first person I’ve seen so far, or at least of people I really know, or at least understand the situation.”<br>
“Well tell me what you do know of people from our dear group then.” Brandy replied.

Alimon just stood by Jasmine in a protective way just in case, as well as looked around just to be cautious nothing happened.

“Do you mean what they’re currently up to, or just ideas? Or do you mean do I know our friends in general, which might imply that you forgot yourself?” Jasmine said.

“Just tell me about what you do know our friends are up to now-a-days. That’s all no need to get defensive dear friend Jasmine.” Brandy said in reply with a little smirk.

“Well, not really,” Jasmine replied. “Like I said, you’re the first person that I have met who knows anything about the truth. So, I don’t know really, or at least have the whole story.”<br>
“Well what about Alysha, maybe she has some more information. Ill go talk to her then.” Brandy said in reply.

“She doesn’t know anything, doesn’t remember anything.” Jasmine said, almost defensively. “Realemon made her forgot, in case you forgot. And I think she’s better off that way. She doesn’t need to be dragged into something that she won’t understand.”<br>
“Oh yes, I almost forgot about that. Well maybe Ill just swing by Jenni’s when I get back into town. Oh wait Jenni is illusioned and back with Realemon now isnt she. Hmmm…maybe Ill stop by Brian’s then (She smiled with an evil grin and laughed for a second), yeah he’d know what is up.” Brandy said.

Jasmine looked at Brandy, a bit more worried. Jenni really was gone? Gone from what she’d known, now she was a lackey. She really had lost her. She barely noticed what Brandy said next.

“Oh wait Brian is gone with Pirelli now isn’t he…hmmmm who else can I ask..that’s isnt illusioned that is….”Brandy thought to herself lost in her own train of thought.

Jasmine started to back away. Turned and kept walking, until she could take the bus and go home. She was still lost in her thoughts, and missing her friends, the way she knew them. Jenni really was gone. And Brandy was bad. How sad, what Brian had always claimed really was true, but they hadn’t noticed until the end. And now she was alone, and had to find a way to fix things on her own.

Back in Chesum, outside or Alysha’s house, Brandy was still standing there, thinking. She had just realized that everyone was lackified, gone, or had forgot. Brandy decided to go back to the tower. She was bored. She decided that she would use her map to find everybody. Those who weren’t lackified in the tower already.

At Realemon’s tower in her private office, she had pulled up her interdimensional map, trying to find Hidimon. With no luck. All over the screen, there were many flashing lights. Most were labled “Hidimon was here, but not now.” About 20 were a bright blue, and said “Hidimon was not here, and never will be. I didn’t like this place.” And a few large pretty purples ones said, “I am here, wait, not here, wait, I was here but I’m not, I’m sitting on your head, wait, no I’m not, you stink you gooberish tombe of a evil pikachu.”<br>
Brandy shut down the map, annoyed. Stupid Hidimon. She started to try to find anyone else, but couldn’t see anything of what was going on inside the Lulu Tower. Lunamon probably had anti-illusioned it. Stupid Lunamon.

Bonus Chapter 3- Confusing Dimensional Memories

(A few days before Jasmine had returned to Acamina)

Lunamon had been sitting on the west window, always looking out. Sadly, longingly. She couldn't stand the east one, looking out it to that possible solution always made her unhappy, sad, almost wanting to take everything back. Instead, she'd look out the west window, usually up in her room, so no one could bother herwhile she relived her life in silly daydreams.

It hadn't always been this way, always sad, angry, crankly. The first phase of her life was so long ago, it seemed like it barely existed. It hadn't been bad or anything, just boring. She knew she had a greater purpose than just roaming the world she lived in, a distorted digital dimension, but she didn't even know at that time that other worlds existed. Until she met a cute little digimon and her partner. The digimon gave her a interesting device, and the two left, looking for their home. Lost, unlike Lunamon had been.

The device made her that way, she decided. It took her to other dimensions, other worlds of being. She recalled the digimon calling it a D-Porter, so she stuck to that name. Using the D-Porter, she found out how broken her world had been. It was more of a junk pile place, somewhere where digital leftovers got thrown. The real digital world was so much better than the one she thought she knew. And the world so close by was even better. Until she went there.

There, she met two small girls. They had almost seemed like sisters, maybe about 8. They were very nice and friendly, and Lunamon almost thought that she liked them. But, when the younger girl picked her up, images flashed in her head, confusing her. She broke away from the girl, and they ran from her. Confused, she returned to her dimension. She was confused, she thought she had seen the girls, but older, much older. She had seen them fighting something, some scary thing, she didn't know what it was. But the girls didn't like it. She didn't know why, but she left like she was involved somehow. She didn't want to think that the thing the girls seemed to hate so much would be herself someday.

For a long while, she stayed there, in her junk dimension, trying to sort though her memories. She didn't went back to the girls' dimension, barely even went to the digital world. She felt safe in her world, her safe perfect world. Away from anything that might change her into the scary thing.

Later on, she noticed that the D-Porter was starting to get old, broken, and didn't work as well as it used to. She tried to fix it, but wasn't sure how. She tried to look for the little digimon and her partner, but she couldn't find them. But at one point she did slip into the human world again, and accidently scared one of the girls. Time had gone by, she was older, but not as old as in the vision. She left, just as scared of the girl as the girl was of her.

When she finally made it back to her own dimension, she found someone somewhat new. The cute little digimon was there, alone, but she had digivolved, and wasn't as cute and nice anymore. She called herself Realemon now, and tried to be Lunamon's friend. Lunamon stayed with her, hoping she'd fix the D-Porter, but she didn't. She did start to make Lunamon think in new ways, some not so nice ways. Lunamon started to forget who she had been, with Realemon. She tried to forget the girl and the vision, but Realemon's theory on that was maybe she was meant to do that. Maybe the girl was the bad one, and Lunamon had to stop her. She didn't understand, but knew not to make Realemon angry at her.

Lunamon had tried to forget the years spent with Realemon in her dimension. She had become a different person, and looking back, she didn't understand how she even believed those things. But once Realemon thought Lunamon was ready to live in the digital world, she helped fix the D-Porter and they went there, and she soon became Galulumon, and created her tower. She didn't care about the girl, just the power Realemon told her was implied in the vision, the power that would be her. When there were 2 kids there,Galulumon didn't want to hurt them, so Realemon told her the best way to get rid of them, by making them forget things that would keep them away. Galulumon didn't want to do that, so Realemon did it for her. Not too long after that, Realemon left her, off looking for her partner.

It wasn't until much later did Galulumon regret what happened, somewhat. One of the two kids was still here, but he was just annoying, not caring, and not remembering his past. But the one child, she hadn't recognized that it was the girl again. This time, maybe it was for the best, since Realemon had made the girl forget her. But somehow she didn't really trust what happened, didn't like it, and wanted it normal. She created a new version of the D-Porter, and just hid in the tower, waiting for the day when she could make Realemon pay for what happened to the girl, whoever she was, she was even forgetting that. Maybe when she had the power in the vision, she could stop Realemon. A couple years later when more kids began to appear in the digital world, she created a special lock for her tower, so only 4 destined people could enter. It was the best she could do if she wanted to keep everyone else out forever.

Then, about 3 years after that, her worse nightmares began. The human kids found her tower, and two of them were the two girls. The one she had only seen once, and the other one, the one Realemon had messed with. Galulumon tried to ignore them, attack them, do anything to stop them. But it was pointless, some of their group were the destined ones her tower would always let in, as long as they had the aspect keys. The two girls could work together to let both in, defying all the rules she knew. The older girl's digimon, Hidimon, tried to help her, and she had the vision again. But this time, they helped her understand it, Realemon had made her think it was all wrong. The enemy was someone else, someone who they knew was gone. And Hidimon revealed a fact that she had ignored or not understood all these years. Lunamon had worried about the girl all the time because they were really meant to be together. The girl, Alysha, showed Galulumon a digivice she had had since she first came to the digital world, and Galulumon went back to being Lunamon. Back the the Lunamon she was meant to be.

Everything had been fine like that, normal, until a month or two later, in a dimension the kids were exploring, they had to quickly escape, and by chance, went to Lunamon's home dimension. She had never told anyone, not even now. She just tried to get them out of there as soon as she could. Most of them had left before she noticed that she recognized someone there, but it was too late. Realemon was there, and had taken over some of their friends. She used them to escape to their world, and by luck they were able to break free when the others took them to the digital world. The kids all left, and hadn't dealt with Realemon, or much of the digital world until about 6 months later, when Hidimon had been tricked into being controled, and Realemon began her plan to take over the world. And even if Hidimon had escaped, most of the others did not. Like Alysha.

The last year, Lunamon had stayed hidden at the tower, in her despair over what happened. She had tried to help, stop the evil, it failed. The worse thing? The enemy in the vision wasn't Realemon. It was a minor distraction compared to her. They had stoped the minor enemy, but failed at the real one. And now, even if she was safe in her tower, it was pointless if all she would do is hide while the rest of the world was destroyed into a illusion that was wrong.
